2011 Topps Lineage Blaster

I purchased this blaster with the slightly misguided perception of pulling some 1964 Topps Stand-ups , which were inserted into 2011 Lineage packs. That is until I realised that there are only 2 per hobby box and the wrapper explained that the ratio is 1in 12. Oh well. The 3D cards are pretty cool perhaps they are easier to pull... same ratio, 1in 12. So maybe just the Red Sox then.

The base Red Sox available from this set include;

#32 Jon Lester

#48 Carlton Fisk

#79 Carl Crawford

#87 David Ortiz

#90 Tris Speaker

#92 Clay Buchholz

#114 Dustin Pedroia

#145 Adrian Gonzalez

#149 Kevin Youkilis

plus a number of interesting inserts
